Conference Announcement

Globalisation and intercultural communication are two important phenomena that
characterize contemporary society and labour market. Consequently, a good
command of foreign languages has become essential for professionals from all
walks of life. In response to the ever increasing need for good foreign
language skills, researchers and practitioners constantly strive to enhance
the teaching and learning process as well as adapt it to the current needs and
trends.

For that reason we invite domestic and foreign researchers and practitioners
in the field of LSP to participate at the conference to exchange and
disseminate their expertise and good practice in foreign language teaching and
learning. The 9th International Language Conference on the Importance of
Learning Professional Foreign Languages for Communication between Cultures
will take place at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of
Maribor from 22 to 23 September 2016. 

Practitioners, researchers and postgraduate students interested in joining the
discussion on current and emerging trends in foreign language teaching and
learning are welcome to submit proposals for papers or workshops or join the
conference as a listener.
